SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL. With whatever anxiety the public may regard the events which are hourly occurring in Spain and Por tugal, they are not, we apprehend, likely to derive much information, as to their progress or tendency, from the expositions of the Tory press. The revolu tions at Ildefonso and Lisbon have, since their occur rence, become cherished subjects for Conservative de distorted, and principles per elamation,—lacts being verted, for the purpose of more effectually assailing the character of the British Government, and the existence of liberal institutions in the Peninsula. We are told, however, that the controversy which has arisen upon these events has hitherto been, on the part of the Conservative press, " very simple." The writer who favours us with this assurance, then proceeds to illustrate his meaning, and he would certainly require to impart some of his " simplicity" to his readers if he expects them to attach much credit to his revelations. As we are desirous of considering the two questions, which are alone of importance, that have been raised by the Times, we shall separate them from the irrele vant abuse and misrepresentation with which they have been mixed up, giving them to our readers as we find them set down in that journal : ct From the outset (says the Times), our proposition has been, that France and England, since the revolution which was forced upon Queen Christina at La Granja, were re leased from all such obligation of interference between Don Carlos and his niece as had rested on the provisions of the Quadruple Treaty:" The same proposition we subsequently find thus repeated : " After the revolution of La Granja, our proposition was distinctly, that to all practical intents and purposes the Quadruple Alliance was at an end ; that Louis Philippe would do nothing as between Don Carlos and the rabble dictatorship at Madrid, and that England ought to do no thing." _ _ _ From this statement of the case, we are entitled to assume what, if questioned, We are prepared to prove, that before the events of Ildefonso England was le gally bound to the fulfilment of certain obligations resting on the provisions of the Quadruple Treaty. The sole question, then, upon which discussion can be raised is—Were the events of Ildefonso of such a nature as to release England from the obligations of her treaty ? Without piling ponderous authorities upon each other, we shall be borne out by all writers on international law, when we allege that the treaty would cease only, first, upon one of the contracting parties losing its existence as an indepen dent State ; secondly, upon such a change taking place in the internal constitution of the Government as to render the Treaty inapplicable. Now we main tain that Spain has not, by the events of Ildefonso, lost its existence as an independent State ; nor has the internal constitution of the Government undergone such a change as to render the Treaty inapplicable. No foreign interference having taken place since the events of La Granja, it is clear that Spain is now not less an " independent State" than before the Consti tution was proclaimed. We at once admit that the internal constitution of the Government of Spain might undergo such a change as, by rendering the Treaty inapplicable, to release the other contracting parties from their obligations. No such a change, however, nothing like such a change, has been effected in the Spanish Government by the events of Ildefonso. May we ask those who tell us that the obligations of the Quadruple Treaty are cancelled by the revolution— what are the limits within which change in the Con stitution , of a country may be wrought, with out periling the stability of its relatoins with Fo reign Powers ? If you sanction the principle of passive intervention in the internal affairs of a nation, by withdrawing from alliances under the pre text of their being cancelled by " changes in the con stitution of the Government," it is obvious that even the progress of legislation may be arrested at the caprice of any unfriendly State with which we may be connected by treaty. The passing of the Reform Bill, or the revision of our municipal laws, would, according to this doctrine, have afforded ample justification to any State with which we may be in alliance at once to sever their connection with England. Nor can we find in the uniform practice of Governments any pre cedent to justify the principle involved in the assertion that the events of Ildefonso release us from the obli gations of the Quadruple Treaty. We have already referred to examples not altogether inapplicable, as we think", to the question we are considering. It has been held that the English Revolution, result ing in the dethronement and decapitation of Charles, did in nowise affect the relations (then in their infancy) of Great Britain with Portugal. Our re lations with Foreign Powers were as unimpeached and as unimpeachable in 1689 as they were in 1687. Were these changes; in " the constitution of our Go vernment" less violent in their operation, or more li mited in their effect, than the recent events at lldefonso, which, we are told, release England from the obliga tions of her treaty with the Government of Spain ? Again, look to the French Revolution of 1830, which, overturning a dynasty and changing utterly the form of gove rnment, was declared to produce no effect upon the relations of the country with Foreign States. May we again advert to the proclamation of the Cadiz Con stitution at Madrid in 1820. The Government es tablished by this revolution was unhesitatingly acknow ledged by the Tory Administration of the day ; and, as we before observed, an autograph letter from Fer dinand, announcing the fact of his having sworn to the Constitution, was received from the hands of the Spa nish Minister by the King of England. We have been told, however, that the occurrence of 1820 differed materially from that of 1836. What was Ferdinand VII. more sincere than Queen Christina in taking the oath to the Constitu tion ? Was a less degree of duress put in force then than now ? Were there in that day no refugees of the " wisest," the " noblest," and the " purest ?" —no Alava, no Cordova to damp the hopes of the Constitutionalists by the weight of their disapproba tion ? In what did the Revolution of 1820 differ from that of 1836 ? Do those who tell us that the latter was " not so popular," forget the part which the mili tary played in the former? In support of the - same view, we may again refer to the subversion of the Con stitution of Don Pedro by Miguel, in 1828. This " change in the constitution of the Government" took place whilst England was in the very act of discharg ing the obligations of her treaty. Did the Govern ment of the day think that we were released from these obligations ? Or will it be maintained that the subver- Sion of the Regency, and the temporary re-establish ment of Absolutism, was a popular and not a mili tary movement? The second ground of argument we find thus formally laid down in the Times:— " We likewise clung to the text of the treaty, maintain ing it to have been signed with one of two belligerent par ties, instead of with the whole people of the Peninsula. The belligerent party was one which aspired (the British Government said rightfully) to the Spanish Crown. But that Crown was the symbol of a constitutional monarchy : it was not the fool's cap of an armed mob. Our second thesis was, therefore, that under the Quadruple Treaty, all duty of interference as between Carlos and Christina had ceased on the part of England ; that the duty of neutrality, which had been set aside by the treaty, now returned in all its original force : that the principle of non-intervention forming the rule, and that of a stipulated interference the exception, the right of interference was altogethe r annulled by the removal of those conditions under which th e inter ference had been stipulated ; that, in fact, Engla n d now again was free ; that she ought to leave Carlos unmolested by the marines and men-of-war which hung upon the coasts in his possession ; and the Christinos, on their side, un burdened by the mock support of a corps of hapless Eng lishmen, who seem to have experienced little of warfare but its wants and mortifications." It seems to have escaped the attention of this lucid expounder of international law, that his " second thesis" was inferred in his first. If the obligations of the treaty ceased upon the occurrence of the events of La Granja, in what respect does this differ from the "second thesis," as laid down in the extract we have quoted? This acute reasoner will allow us to suggest, that before he is justified in inferring that " the right of interference is altogether annulled," it may be as well for him to show that " the conditions -under which the interference has been stipulated" were removed. It is not a very unusual preliminary with those who oppose or support a " thesis," to esta blish some premises before they draw any conclusion. Speaking of Louis Philippe, the Times is pleased to apprise us that it " had no intention to malign or affront that politic and skilful Sovereign." It is pro bably the effect of habit, which renders it difficult for the Times to speak of any man without maligning or affronting, either by flattery or by abuse ; but the involuntary felicity with which our Contemporary has contrived, upon this occasion, to deviate into the truth with respect to the King of the French, prefac ing it with the candid admission that it was uninten tional, is really quite marvellous. The Times repre sents Louis Philippe as a crafty, speculating politician, entering into a solemn treaty with a predetermination to evade it ; engaging the confidence of a foreign Go vernment only to abuse it ; seeking the most specious opportunity for oppressing his own subjects ; or, to borrow the unoffending phraseology of the Times, of " putting handcuffs on them ;" and, in giving this re presentation, there was no intention of " maligning" or " affronting " the object of it. Though experience renders us somewhat sceptical as to the " intentions" of that honest Journal, we at once acquit it of the fact of " maligning the " politic and skilful Sovereign ;" and we apprehend the discrimination of Louis Philippe is not very likely to be " affronted" at any censures from such a quarter.—Morning Chronicle. The fierce hostility to which the Church of England has of late years been exposed by confederated infidels, Papists, and a section of Protestant. Dissenters, will eventually, we are confident, work more good than evil to the religious establishment which it was meant to overthrow. It cannot be denied that a long course of worldly prosperity had caused many abuses to grow up in the Church, which tended to overlay its usefulness and check the expansion of its Christian graces. The malice and rancour of its enemies have already had the good effect of causing a spirit of self-examination to arise in the Church, which cannot fail to root out those abuses, and to remove whatever earthly stains defile the white garment of the Gospel bride, which are --" Like the spots upon a Vestal's robe, The worse for what they soil." In Ireland, indeed, the Church has been, ever since the concession of the Catholic claims, undergoing the fiery ordeal of a bitter persecution. The Irish clergy are acknowledged to be a most pious, learned, and exemplary body of men. The provision which the State had made for them, it has been proved before Par liament, they were in the habit of not only not demand ing to the full, but of exercising so much indulgence as to accept nearer a twentieth than a tenth of the annual produce allowed them by law. Were they to forego the whole, it would of course return into the pockets of the landlords, and the occupants of the land would not find themselves a farthing the richer, even by the total abolition of tithe—but no matter for that. A pretext was wanted by the intolerant priests and bigots of the Church of Rome for the persecution of the Protestant clergy, by way of proving the sin cerity of their vows of eternal gratitude for Protestant concessions. The word tithe was adopted to cover the real motive of aggression upon the property and persons of the heretic clergy ; and, under the hoisted banners of an anti-tithe conspiracy, the envenomed in tolerance which formerly burned Ridley and Latimer at the stake instigated the savage passions of an ex citeable and ignorant multitude to commence that cru sade against the Protestant clergy which drove them to the verge of starvation, and shed the blood of many by the hand of cowardly assassination. Salutary truths ought to be taught by these facts to Englishmen. They ought to learn from them that the spirit of the old serpent of Romish bigotry is the same in the 19th century that it was in the 15th—that its mode of per secuting heretics is only different from what it formerly was in these realms, because, although closely allied to the Whig Ministers, it has not yet got the sovereign power of the State upon its side to enable it to do, by the mockery of judicial proceedings and by legalised fire and faggot, what it now does by employing, as the instruments of its vengeance, the agrarian incendiaries and assassins who prowl for their prey by night, and sometimes murder their victims in the noon day. But great as the sufferings of the Protestant Clergy of Ire land are, their Christian fortitude seems to be still greater. Never did men bear with more equanimity and patience the most dreadful privations—privations at one time approaching to a state of hopeless destitu tion—than they have done. With a fanatic population raging around them, instigated to the most desperate deeds by cowardly agitators and crafty priests, and with a Government betraying their cause to their op pressors, they met the terrors that encompassed them with a calm firmness that astonished their implacable assailants, and which could only result from reposing their trust in Him who placed the Christian Church upon a rock, and who promised that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. That the Church, both in England and Ireland, will come forth pu rified from the fires of adversity is the belief and consolation of every member of its communion, who contemplates the momentous struggle that is now going on. The power that persecuted with fire and sword the earliest reformers of religion, still hates with the hatred of an unchanged and immutable bigotry the descendants of those reformers, and all who have fol lowed them from the mazes of Popish error into the path of Scriptural truth. This spirit, it is now fully proved to the most sceptical, cannot be appeased by Protestant liberality, but is only made more insolent by concession. Let the Whig Ministers tamper with the eternal interests of truth, anti sacrifice the Bible to a base ambition. Protestant England will feel for anti protect the persecuted protestant clergy of Ireland. It will also, as has been lately seen in Liverpool, reject with disdain the Whig compromise between truth and error, and more decidedly than ever make the unmuti lated Scriptures the corner stone of national education. —Morning Herald. The British Scientific Association, since we last referred to it at the close of its Bristol proceedings, has not been allowed to fall in the wake of public at tention. Its managing Committee have been actively employed since that time in founding branch Societies and local Mechanics' Institutes ; in fact, their Bristol proceedings were adjourned to Cheltenham for the latter purpose. It is not, however, on account of its laudable activity that we now advert to this scientific Institution—the daily proceedings of which at Bristol we reported and commented on—but on account of a transaction growing out of those proceedings which singularly exhibits the inveterate bigotry and persecu ting malignity of High Church Toryism. Dr. Hamp den was lately selected, on account of his ethical lec tures, as a mark for the poisoned arrows of its ranco rous inquisitors. Dr. Buckland is now selected as a new victim by these bigotted assassins, on account of his geological lectures at Bristol, to which we before drew attention. He is a churchman, but his opinions are philosophical and liberal, and that is quite enough of priestly to draw upon him the whole weight persecution. It is asserted by his opponents—al though it is not proved—that he maintained, accord ing to the evidences of geology, that the world had existed for millions of years. This alleged assertion is immediately pounced upon by the high-church party, and declared a heterodox, damnable, and infidel doc trine. No doubt the orthodox denouncers, would, if they dared, or if we lived in the 16th century, send their philosophical brother, without the least mercy, to the rack or to the stake. Th e y would punish Dr. Buckland for asserting the geological antiquity of the earth, in the same manner as their inquisitorial prede cessors punished poor Galileo, the astronomer , for say ing the earth moved round the sun. 'The spirit is pre cisely the same. The will is good, but the power is wanting. The spirit is willing, but the arm of flesh is weak. Yet, what after all is Dr. Buckland's crime ? The supposed allegation of an opinion which is in perfect conformity with the opinions of a large body of orthodox Christian divines, and with the interpretation of th e best Hebrew scholars, whether Englishmen or Jew s . Theological discussions are not fit for news papers ; nor are we going, in imitation of a contempo rary, to drag our readers with us through the en tangling mazes or treacherous quagmires of such in- We might, like others, decorate our co vestigatione, lns v quotations in Arabic, Hebrew, or Cop tuicm;b‘ith ut we have no ambition to earn the title of learned fools or inflated pedants, which naturally and very properly, with persons of plain sense, accompany such misplaced and pretentious exhibitions. We shall briefly say—and in order to enforce the argument we are confining o urselves to th e i nterpretat i on o f ortho dox divines from Warburton and Burnet to Maurice —that Dr. Buckland's is in reality the orthodox opi nion. The wnole question turns upon the Hebrew word Yum, which our translators, who, by the way, THE SUN, Dm:N._ are chargeable with most numerous and absurd errors, translate ." day ;" but which the best Hebrew scholars assert to mean an indefinite period—just such a period as geology and the sense of sight require to account for the successful stratifications of the earth's surface. To assert that the word means day is neither more nor less than to assert a solecism ; for there could . be no natural day till the sun, the natural measure of time, appeared, and that was not till three periods or days, afterivards. It is not necessary to go farther into the subject. We have only drawn attention to it to show to our readers how inveterate is the malignity of Tory prejudice, and how tenacious of existence is the ancient spirit of State Church persecution. In this instance the rancour of Dr. Buckland's assailants, on account of an imagined assertion, overleaps the back of the horse. In their hurried anxiety to assassinate a new victini, they cut themselves with their own dag gers. They are, in fact, aiming a blow at Christianity itself through the sides of that victim ; for never was more singular and overwhelming corroboration offered to the evidence of .truth, than are offered by the spade of the geologist, and by the voice of the earth itself, to the mysterious inspiration, or to the scientific accu racy of the first chapter of Genesis. The evidence con vinced Cuvier, who be g an his geological investigations with infidelity and ended them with _Christianity. — Morning Advertiser. The strange conduct which our Whig Government has lately been pursuing has given much cause for reflection to those who watch the course of national prosperity, and compare England as she now is to nations which were once as remarkable—who perceive that, without imitating the full measures of their folly or wickedness, she does not hesitate to abandon the principles on which all her success has been founded. A comparison may well be taken between what Hol land was and what England now is. Holland - once enjoyed free institutions—commerce unlimited—im mense colonies in India and Africa—her navies rode triumphant on every sea. But the demon of avarice took possession of her sons, and, all their thoughts fixed on gain, they abandoned principle, and became indifferent to the sufferings of individuals and of na tions. They trod under foot the holy sign of their Re demption to trade with Pagan nations—they murdered the merchants of rival countries—extracted by torture the riches of Malay Princes—by the whip, the labour of their enslaved subjects ; and, while giving refuge to the seditious outcasts of every nation, lent millions to the devastator of the Palatinate, the licentious despot enemy of her creed. On this rock—want of principle —was the prosperity of Holland wrecked. After be longing many years to the Usurper's brother, what is she now—though she be free cf his rule ? She pos sesses but a fragment of her colonies—her power is contemptible—her fleets are of no importance—her commerce is more like the thrifty traffic of the Jews than the glorious trade of the merchant Princes she carried on in past times. The moral of this picture is, that if England, looking only to her internal pros perity, encourages treason, civil war, and dissension in other countries, while she leaves the noblest nations a prey to the Vandals of the North, the hour of retribu tion must arrive. Like the Dutch, she will offer to future ages a warning and an example.—Morn. Post. ittnnday were remanded till that day, to abide on Coroner's hillie s t, tlte ;t ;e vi su a l s t that : .

On Anne Churchill leaving the liar she gave an hysteri cal shriek, and, on going out of the office into the street, she involuntarily exclaimed, " Oh, my child ! my child I I'm dead! I'm dead !" A crowd instantly gathered round them, from which they made their escape by getting into a cab. Henry Beaman, whom lean and forlorn look was a true picture of distressed feelings, was placed before Mr. GROVE, on a peace waarant, being charged by Miss Frances Hud son, a rosy-faced lass, of about eighteen years of age, who appeared of that class of tormenting females, who, like Polly in The Beggar's Opera, could very well do without either. The complainant stated that the defendunt was her first cousin, and for the last eighteen months he had been paying his addresses to her. On Monday last he came into her room, while she was at work, and commenced declaring his attachment to her. As she had often done before, she told him that she did not wish to speak to him. Upon saying this, he declared that lie would shoot her and himself too. --(Complainant here laughed.) Mr. GROVE—You seem to treat the matter lightly. Complainant—No, your Worship. On Monday he took up the Bible, which was lying on the table, and kissing it, declared that the first time he saw me in the street he would shoot me. She never saw him so serious before. Sergeant M‘William, of the H division, said that the complainant was afraid to go out. Mrs. Jane Smith, for the complainant, said that she heard the defendant say that sooner than she should have any one else, he would make away with her. Robert Emery, the other lover, here stepped into the witness box, and looking sternly at the defendant, swore that, from what he knew of the matter, she never liked him. Mr. GROVE—Do you think she will ever have him ? Witness—Dear Sir, I have heard her say that she would suffer fifty deaths before she would have him. The defendant said he had no intention to do the com plainant any harm. Then, addressing the complainant, he exclaimed, " Oh, Fanny I you know I would not hurt a hair of your head." Mr. GROVE—You must find bail. Defendant = Only last Sunday she declared that she would not have any one but me, but when I am out of hu mour, she says she does not like me. The complainant said that she required bail. The defendant, for want of sureties, was locked up. INSOLVENT COURT-FRIDAY. John 11/PGahey, the vestry clerk of St. Pancras parish, applied on his petition from the Kink's Bench Prison to be discharged. Mr. NrctioLs said he had a preliminary objection to the hearing of the insolvent in the present state of his schedule. The Court would collect from the statement opposite the debt of the detaining creditor, for whom he appeared, that it arose from an action brought under the 76th section of the Reform Act, against the insolvent as vestry clerk, and one of the overseers, of the parish of St. Pancras, for the recovery of penalties for wilfully inserting in the list of voters for the borough of Marylebone names of certain persons. That was the simple manner in which the debt arose. It was inserted as 501. for damages and 1661. for costs, and the insolvent, instead of contenting himself with stating the mere facts, had gone out of his way to insert a statement extending over six pages, of irrelevant, false, and libellous matter, reflecting on Mr. Tarr and his attorney, Mr. E. W. Scadding. It was his object to remove the libellous matter before the case was heard, his prayer being that the case should stand adjourned until the schedule was in a decent state. The Court would, perhaps, before he further commented on the statement, order it to be read. They would perceive that the insolvent was charged by the action with wilfully inserting three names in the list of votes. The statement in juxta-position to the debt of the de taining creditor was then read by Mr. Massey, the chief A long argument was then gone into by Mr. lircnoLLs on behalf of the opposing creditor, and Mr. Coma on the part of the insolvent, on the question whether or not it was allowable for an insolvent to insert in his schedule matter of a nature to cast reflection on the character of his oppos ing creditor, or any other person. The COURT, after some conversation, decided that to allow an insolvent to insert such a statement would be to establish a bad precedent. The insolvent was, therefore, ordered to strike out the matter complained of, and insert a simple denial. The case was accordingly adjourned for that purpose. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. 'Yesterday John Edwards, clerk to a stock-broker in the city, was brought before Messrs. BENNETT and LAING, on a warrant, in custody of Nisbet, the officer, charged by Mrs. Eliza Hart, of 37, Stamford-street, Waterloo-road, with having attempted to incite Alfred Delom, her son, a lad about 17 years of age, to fight a duel. The defendant, some time since, paid his addresses to the daughter of the complainant, to whom he was eventually married, she being entitled to a considerable sum of money ; but in consequence of some family disagreements she left the defendant, and lived under the roof of her mother. The defendant being aware that there was a desire on the part of her parent to cause a separation, contrary to the wishes of the young lady, he endeavoured to obtain posses sion of her, which led to disputes between him and the son Delom, who challenged him, and he (defendant) wrote a letter to his wife, which by mistake got into the bands of the complainant, and induced her to believe that her life was in danger, and she applied to the Magistrates of this office, in order that articles of the peace might be exhibited against the defendant, who, it appears, during the absence of the mother, took his wife away, and yesterday morning Nisbet executed the warrant upon him whilst with her, at their lodgings at the Anglesea Hotel, in the Haymarket. The letter was handed in by Mrs. Hart, which was directed to his wife, and went on to state— " DEAR Sopnia,—Having been so insulted by you and your mother this afternoon, I am fully bent in performing that part of justice to my own honour, which has been so much injured by your brother. lam now about to send you a note, which, if accepted by him, and not attended to, will be downright cowardice on his part.—Yours, &c. " J. EDWARDS. " P. S.—lf by your coolness this afternoon, with your mother's insult, you wish that a separation should take place, send your brother Alfred, as soon as the affair is over, with Martha. You have told me more than once that lam afraid to talk to a man, so that he will not refuse that which is humbly required by me. " J. EDWARDS." Mrs. Hart identified the hand-writinc , to be the prisoner's, and said that the servant delivered the letter to her, but it was meant for her daughter. Mr. BENNETT said the letter ought to have been banded to the daughter, to whom it was directed, as it was meant for the perusal of no one else. He asked the defendant why he wrote the letter ? Defendant—Because I was pro voked to it ; it was only intended for my own wife. Mr. Mallet, the clerk, here said that he understood that pistols had been purchased, and other preparations made. An individual to whom Delom was apprenticed, proved that fact, and, on ascertaining it, he took the pistols from him. Mr. BENNETT considered it a matter more for the inter ference of friends, and advised the parties to adopt that mode of settling their differences amicably. The defendant assured the Magistrates that he was not aware that pistols had been purchased. Mrs. Hart begged for protection as they were in fear of their lives. Mr. BENNET T then ordered the defendant to find bail, and he was locked up, and the other parties quitted the office. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. John Evans, a private in the Coldstream Guards, wag yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT, charged with hav ing stolen a box, containing money and clothes, belonging to a servant girl, named Mary Huistin. The prisoner was remanded for a week. W 0 R SHIP- STREET. Yesterday, Ann Churchill, a single young woman, and a man and his wife, of the name of Hassain, living in Ed• ward -street, Whitmore-road, were placed at the bar before Mr. GaovE, charged with the murder of a fine full-grown new-born male child, of which the former prisoner was sus pected to be the mother. The prisoners were brought up 'OBER 1, 1836 UNION-HALL. Yesterday Samuel May, a master carpenter at Rother hithe, was summoned by the parochial authorities of that parish for neglecting to contribute to the maintenance of his father, an old man, to whom relief had been afforded by the guardians. Mr. Wallace, one of the overseers, stated that the de fendant's father had applied at the workhouse for relief, in consequence of being unable to work from paralysis of the hands. On examining into the case of the applicant, and it being ascertained that he was an object of commiseration, owing to the affliction, he was relieved ; but, upon subse quent inquiry, it was found that the defendant (his son) was in circumstances to support the old man, or at least to contribute something towards it. Upon this fact being ascertained, immediate application was made to him to re fund the money advanced by the parish, but he not only refused to acquiesce with the request, but he also expressed his inability to contribute any thing to his future main tenance. The overseer added that, in consequence of the refusal of the defendant, the parochial authorities directed him to be summoned, with a view that an order might be made upon him, and, in the event of his non-compliance, to have him punished. Mr. TRAILL inquired what sum the parish allowed the old man ? The overseer replied that he had a shilling a week. Mr. TRAILL—Surely he can't support existence on so small a sum. The overseer said that since the old man lost the use of his hands he occasionally went on errands for people, and made a trifle by that, and when he applied at the work house he said thac if his son allowed him a shilling a week that he would try and make that do. The son, however, refused, and his only resource then was his application to the workhouse. Mr. TAAILL—What is the defendant ? The overseer said that he was a master carpenter, doing business on his own account. _ _ _ Mr. TRAILL then asked the defendant why lie refused to repay the money advanced by the parish to his father. He was bound by law to maintain his parent. The de fendant said that although be was in business for himself, vet that it was of so trifling a kind that he was often com pelled to do journeyman's work himself. He could not af ford to do anything for his father. Mr. TRAILL inquired whether the parish officers bad as certained the defendant's earnings ? The Overseer said that he lived in a good house, dressed well, and appeared to be in comfortable circumstances, but that they could not ascer tain what his income was. _ Mr. TRAILL here asked the defendant the question, and his reply was that his business as a master was very small, and that between it and his journeywork he was sure he did not average more than 28s. per week. Mr. TAAILL—What family have you? Defendant—l am a widower, and have one child that I am obliged to sup port, and can't maintain my father. Mr. WEDGWOOD—You have just as much right to main toin your father as your child. Mr. TRAILL—I shall make the order for you to pay the shilling a week, and to refund the money paid to your father. The Magistrate having done this, said he never saw a man exhibit less feeling for a parent than the defendant did throughout the case. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken before William Carter, Esq., the coroner for Surrey, at the Sun, Battersea, on view of the body of William Charles Swarten, aged 17, son of a respectable tradesman, in the Blackfriars-road, who met with his death by drowning, while in a boat in the river Thames. Verdict—" Accidental death." Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was held in the Board-room of St. James's workhouse, Poland-street, Ox ford -street, before Mr. Higgs, the ooroner, and a highly respectable jury, on the body of a new born female child unknown, which was found in the carriage -way of Great Pulteney-street, on last Wednesday evening. It was wrapped up in a piece of linen and some brown paper. From the evidence of the surgeon it appeared that, from the examination he made, the child had been still-born. It had been born a week or ten days, and it was in a very decomposed state. The birth had not been attended by any medical assistance. The jury returned a verdict of " Found dead." Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Union pub lic-house, Essex-street, King's-cross, St. Pancras, before Mr. Stirling and a respectable jury, on view of the body of Mrs. Martha Itickett, aged 41, who drowned herself in a water butt. It appeared that the deceased was living apart from her husband, and that since their separation she bad been very melancholy, had attempted to poison herself, and had also exhibited general symytoms of mental derangement. On the night of her death she bad been particularly inco herent, and a nurse sat up with her. The latter fell asleep, and during the time the deceased escaped from the room and committed the act of self-destruction. When discovered she was quite dead. Verdict—" Temporary derangement." " Astoria," Mr. Washington Irving's new work, is announced for publication early in October. The great variety in the works of the celebrated author of " The Sketch Book" is not among the least of his attractions. He is, truly, a man of genius. No matter how cold and barren, and desolate the scene, he fills it with life and motion—with interest and pas sion. He strikes, as it were, the desert rock, and it flows with the full tide of fancy. He peoples a bare and blasted heath with men, with phantoms—with the visions of kingdoms grasped, and won and lost. The barren surface of the sea— ploughed by the solitary private who knows his fellow-beings only as objects to be alternately shunned or assailed—is made by him the theatre of the most deep and stirring interest. Whe can be surprised, then, at the popularity of Washington Irving ? MRS. ROBERTSON OF INCHES.—The lady of Arthur J. Robertson, Esq., of Inches, died suddenly on.

No event hal occurred for many years which produced so strong a sensation in Inver ness as this melancholy cifctuustauce,-4inverne-4 Paper, PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COAII'ANIES, &c. &c. &c.
